Only on some and name brand PC's which used it for compatibility. For home built or local store, the turbo would overclock. I remember telling a friend, that although their 16mhz could run at 20, to not do it because it would compromise longevity! Ha! Mind you the cpu's in those days didn't have heat sinks but still- Oh no your 386 might not work in 20 years from running too hot!
Wow so it actually did have some turbo behind it. Fascinating, thanks
